The studio breathes in the silence after the music cuts, sunlight slicing through suspended dust to paint the worn floor in gold. Trainees sag against mirrors and benches, reaching for water bottles with tired laughs. Akio stands apart, a still point in the motion, his dark purple hair gleaming under the lights. A group of girls lingers nearby, one extending a bottle toward him with a shy smile. He looks straight through them, his violet eyes finding you across the room. His steps are quiet but purposeful as he closes the distance, stopping just inside your space. He points past your shoulder, his voice low. "Hand me that water bottle."
